John Hanic-jhanic Get well thread

[Randall Flagg]

Pretty self explanatory, send John good wishes and thoughts.
Use your imagination to post something more than a GWS sentence.
Show you care!

I'll be weak and start it off.

Not up to snuff enough on the graphics stuff for anything fancy but we're all wishing you the best, John! :grouphug: John is a warm, wonderful person who wishes nothing but the best for us all. I first met John via the CD forum and he's the one who actually pointed me in the direction of TDT.org. He is not only an asset to our communities both here and over at CD, but to the whole SK collecting world. Feel better soon, brother!

[Brian861]

Please count me in as well for the card and donation. Thanks!

Get well soon John. Similar to Brian,but I first met John on the official SK site and marveled at his collection while asking him if he needed another "child" in his family.
You know you will be missed by many on here and we eagerly await your return. We will save your place at the table sir.

I wish you all the best. Get well soon!!!

[Patrick]

Well this Friday is my last day working for the federal government of Canada. I was hired for a term, that was extended but I'm getting laid off after about 9 months here. It sucks, it was a pretty nice job, and the highest paying one that I've had. Because of the terms of my employment I am not allowed to apply for internal positions, though the experience will help me get another job with the government (or other positions) though I will have to apply as an external employee.

I've been applying for jobs for the last several months but still nothing, though I did get sent an assessment for another government position that I am waiting to hear back on. I've squirreled away some savings for the next while to tide me over, but it may be a rough summer.

Sorry to hear this. Hoping you find something soon!


John Hanic, wishing you the best in your recovery!

[Merlin1958]

Whatever may give him a little boost, I'm in. It did wonders for me in my time of need!!!

You are a great person :grouphug:

Wishing John a super rapid recovery. I'd like to echo others here and say John's a great guy, who has helped me out many times with opinions on proofs. He's my proof go-to guy!

[carlosdetweiller]

I hope you get well soon, John, and get back with us.

Sounds like the basis for a good short story, John.

Plot: Ink for a book printing by a certain author gets poisoned during the printing process when a psychotic worker is killed and his blood mixes with the ink. One of the book's readers, who happens to be a diehard collector of that author, has a small cut on his finger; ink gets inside, he gets blood poisoning. Somehow the story itself got mixed with the psycho's blood and gets in the reader's blood, giving him a blood poisoning that doctors can't identify or treat and which transforms the reader into a psychotic killer who thinks in terms of the book he was reading mixed with his own memories of being a collector.

The reader escapes the treatment facility and wreaks havoc on all those who have ever wronged him by buying one of that author's books out from under him, and makes sure they are all dispensed in manners similar to the characters in the book. Collectors on a certain website mysteriously start having accidents or disappearing, but the rest of the collector-geeks soon realize that they are being knocked off one-by-one per both their collecting specialty and the book's storyline. They set a trap where a certain book that never shows up for auction suddenly appears for one day only; knowing the killer must have it, they band their resources to snipe outbid him at the last moment. They publicize a celebratory collecting-geek party for their good fortune at having acquired the rare tome, knowing the killer will be so outraged at having been sniped that he will be unable to turn down the chance to show up and dispense of them all at the same time and in the same place.

The time comes; the book is left under a spotlight on a raised dais in the center of a room for all to admire. The killer watches from outside as the fools leave the room and gather around a large fireplace, sipping fine liquors in toast of their good fortune. The killer cannot help but also be the collector inside, and must first have the book. He enters silently, approaches the dais, and silently weeps to himself as he reaches for the cover. Suddenly there is a noise behind him; he turns to see a clown carrying balloons. He is startled, as the thing is hideous and just stares at him. He spins to grab the book, it is all about the book ... and hears another sound; this time a pale-skinned vampire approaches from the shadows. His mind reels in horror as to what is happening. More noises, more horrors coming at him; a man with an axe; a policeman; a girl covered in blood; a woman with a sledgehammer; a dark man. They slowly converge on him, surrounding him, staring silently; his mind reels. The book! He must save the book! He turns, reaches for it, and ...

So that's the plot; you have 2-4 weeks to flesh it out. Writing is a great recovery device; get well!

George

[Johnny007]

Best wishes for a complete and speedy rehab stint, John. Your SK expertise, calm demeanor and general "nice-guy" persona is missed!

John

[jcmanske]

I echo the many sentiments that have been expressed above. You are a true gentlemen of the forum, a wealth of information and support, and a true class act. Beat this thing down and get well soon. You are missed!

[Patrick]

Glad to hear from you, John. Glad you are on the road to recovery! Best wishes with it all, friend.

Wow! That's pretty damn good actually. But anyone who knows John would know it would be the one off rare proof of said book that infects him :evil:

[Rachel Readman]

My first visit to the site for a while and I just read this. Glad to read that you are in recovery John. Like others I have 'known' you since way back in the days of tdt.net and I am almost certain that you were the first person I had a welcome reply from when I first joined the various forums. You've always been a goldmine of knowledge and have a big big heart! Take good care of yourself John and here's to a speedy recovery!

Best wishes from Mick and I. Xx

[needfulthings]

JOHN
I HOPE the physical rehab is going fine. I have noticed that some of the members here are looking forward to you joining them "BACK ON THE BOARDS".
It may be me...But I just don't find that option all that appealing.
But I do want you to hang in there...AND GET WELL.

I sent him a get well card a couple of days ago and asked if he would let me know how he was doing. If I hear from him I will post his reply.

[jhanic]

I finally was able to use the computer in the rehab center I'm in. I'll probably be here for a month or so yet--I have some major problems still. I had my gall bladder removed but there's still something wrong. Using this computer is very difficult for me. I thank everyone for their well-wishes very much.

The thoughts are great but any donations should go to the Haven fund.

Man, unfortunately I know exactly the position you are in. I was there a year or so ago. However, while I was nowhere near 100% from a capability standpoint I managed to make it out and I am sure you will as well, John. Just hang in there and keep impressing the P/T folks. You'll make it home in one way shape or form!!! I'm rooting for you, my friend!!!

[TCCBodhi]

I'm not a believer, but you'll be in my thoughts in my Thanksgivings this year John. Get home soon, it's the best medicine there is!
